Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning
5.0
4.5/5
I was falling out of love with this series a little bit, because Iced and Burned weren't nearly as good as the first 5. This one brought it back!
I had to physically read this one, even though I've been listening to the rest of the series thus far. The narration is TERRIBLE! I was so freakin' pissed that they changed Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante (especially Phil, he's PERFECT for all of the sexual and masculine men in this series). The male narrator made the Nine sound like creepy old men and he sucked at accents. The female narrator was terrible at accents too, and didn't narrate the different POVs in their own voice, just their speaking voices. Oh and they were suddenly saying "Cruze" instead of "Cruce" (rhyming with 'juice') like they pronounced in the first SEVEN audiobooks and it drove me absolutely bug fuck (lmao, sorry...I got sick of that saying in Burned because every single narrating character used it). I feel like this audiobook was a very poor choice on Brilliance Audio's part. I'll be boycotting the rest of the audiobooks in this series.
Karen sure knows how to blindside me. So many surprises! And one of the worst cliffhangers ever - almost worse than book 4 cliffhanger. I'm so glad I have the next book!
I just want to say that I. Freaking. LOVE!!!!! Shazam!! Oh my GOD I loved him so much. He's perfect and I want to snuggle him. He's described as looking like a koala bear cat but I just pictured a Pallas's cat. HE IS THE BEST. I actually don't think I've loved a character so much since Buruu from the Lotus War (which is my fave series ever).

Spoiler
I don't know how I feel about Alina being back. Her death was the catalyst that shaped Mac's entire world as she currently knows it, and it seems like a cop out to just be like SURPRISE! She's not really dead! But I guess if Mac resurrected her with the book it makes sense. I'm interested to see if that's what really happened and what game the book is playing at. Mac's internal struggle with the book got a bit redundant, but I'm glad that's finally coming to an end one way or the other. I'm also interested to learn more about the Sweeper. I didn't connect the dots that the cuff of Cruce was keeping the minions away from Mac. Hmm.I just want to say that I. Freaking. LOVE!!!!! Shazam!! Oh my GOD I loved him so much.
